Planning to do some international shopping? You may want to defer the European get-away for a few months, atleast until the dollar bounces back. Interpretation:
The LV 
that might have cost $1000 a couple of years ago is now about $1600, yet the prices in Europe haven’t gone up. The old American standard just haven’t lived up to the Euro.
If you can’t shake the bug, check out the Fashion District in Italia and the Designer Outlets in Europe.

All I can say is WOW. These pictures are featured in the June Vogue as Mr. Big & Carrie’s Honeymoon. Looks like they heated things up and looked abso-fckun-lutely amazing. Reading the Vogue made me feel as if I was given a behind the scenes look at private moments in the lives of my favorite fictional couple. I don’t really like the Chanel suit Carrie is wearing in the picture where Big is carrying the Louis luggage…Can I mention my birthday is coming up and I would love some Louis luggage?
My two favorite looks are the teal Nina Ricci gown she’s wearing as they lay on the couch (even though we can’t see the front) and the Alexander McQueen peacock, lace & tulle dress seen as they get hot and heavy in the museum.
